Cruz Azul Shines with 4-1 Win Over León and Faces Busy Match Calendar Ahead
Cruz Azul just pulled off a statement victory this past Saturday, July 26, 2025, delivering a commanding 4-1 win over León in the third round of the Liga MX Apertura tournament. The match took place at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario, and it was one to remember. Ángel Sepúlveda stole the spotlight with a breathtaking goal that left fans speechless and fired up. This win didn’t just mark the team’s first victory of the tournament — it also sent a strong message: La Máquina is heating up.
But things won’t slow down anytime soon for Cruz Azul. After this impressive performance, the team will dive straight into the Leagues Cup with a packed schedule ahead. Their next five games include tough opponents, international travel, and key moments that could define their mid-season form.
First up, Cruz Azul will head to Seattle to take on the Sounders on July 31st. This won’t be unfamiliar territory — the last time they met, Cruz Azul came out on top 4-1 in the Concachampions Round of 16. The game will kick off at 8:30 p.m. Mexico City time, at Lumen Field.

Just a few days later, on August 3rd, they’ll travel to California to face the LA Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park. Fans might remember the 2019 edition of the Leagues Cup, where Cruz Azul edged out Galaxy 2-1. That match is set for 8:30 p.m. Mexico time as well.
Then comes a brand-new matchup — Cruz Azul will face the Colorado Rapids on August 7th. Although it’s considered a home game for Cruz Azul, it will also be played in California at the same stadium. The Rapids are currently mid-table in the MLS Western Conference, so they’ll be hungry to surprise the Mexican side.
After wrapping up the Leagues Cup group stage, Cruz Azul returns to Liga MX action on August 11th against Atlético San Luis in San Luis Potosí. Last time Cruz Azul visited, they were beaten 3-1 — a result they’ll be looking to avenge.
Finally, they’ll host Santos Laguna on August 16th in Mexico City. Santos hasn’t had the best luck in recent visits to the capital, and Cruz Azul will be aiming to keep it that way.
So, after that electric win against León, Cruz Azul fans have every reason to be excited — but also a bit nervous. The coming weeks are packed with tough tests and international showdowns. The rhythm will be intense, but if La Máquina keeps performing like they did against León, big things could be coming their way this season.
